#739981January 26, 2001
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK:SELECTOR DEVICES
THE REPAIR ON THE TRUCK WAS TO REPLACE BOTH FUEL PUMPS TO PREVENT GAS FROM PUMPING FROM ONE TANK TO THE OTHER AND OUT THE FILLER HOSE ONTO THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS NOT HAPPENING WHEN I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD HAVE MADE THIS REPAIR UNDER A SAFETY RECALL 93S68. ACCORDING INITIAL INFORMATION PROVIDED TO ME BY THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR SHOP, IT APPEARED THAT THIS REPAIR (RECALL) WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY MADE ON THIS VEHICLE. AT THE TIME, I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE ABOUT THIS REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER COVERED BY THIS SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE OF AGE. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL UNTIL ON A TRIP GAS STARTED SPILLING FROM THE FILL NECKS ON THE TANKS (DUE TO THE PUMPS NOT CHECKING THE FLOW BACK INTO THE TANKS ALLOWING GAS TO BE PUMPED FROM ONE TANK TO THE OTHER). WHEN I STARTED CHECKING INTO THE REPAIR, I FOUND THE SAFETY RECALL REFERENCED ABOVE. MY MOST RECENT CONVERSATION WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE (SUPERVISOR HEATHER APPARENTLY SOMEWHERE IN CANADA AND WITH NO CALL BACK NUMBER) WAS THAT FORD WAS NOT REQUIRED TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE THEIR RECORDS INDICATE THAT THE RECALL WAS CLOSED IN 1998 ON THIS VEHICLE, AND EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM EXISTS THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY COMPENSATION FOR THIS REPAIR. (THE REPAIR HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE AND AN APPROXIMATE COST OF $1000). IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE REPAIR WAS NECESSARY REGARDLESS OF THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE OR PREVIOUS FORD EFFORTS TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY DESIGN DEFECT AND IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED AT FORD MOTOR COMPANYS EXPENSE NOT MINE. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE IMPRESSION BY LOCAL PARTS STORES AND REPAIR SHOPS THAT THIS IS STILL A COMMON REPAIR NEEDED ON THESE VEHICLES.*AK
